Relay robots are equipped with an advanced sensor suite that includes cameras, lidars and various other safety sensors. These sensors continuously scan the environment and form a high quality dynamic map of the surrounding area. This gives the robot exceptional spatial awareness and allows it to plan a safe path through all obstacles and people. Even sudden changes like a child abruptly jumping onto its path appears on this map prompting Relay to respond within milliseconds.

Relay’s authentication options provide pharmacists with a verifiable trail for every medication delivered throughout the hospital. Additionally, sophisticated software and “Uber-like” maps show real-time delivery status while tracking and reporting delivery history.

Every Relay comes with a charging dock that can be placed strategically at the site. As Relays go about their tasks, they are continuously monitoring their battery levels and are always recharging between deliveries such that the battery rarely runs low. however, if the battery is low, they autonomously navigate to the dock and automatically dock themselves until charged.

During installation, elevators are configured to communicate with Relay robots. This allows them to call elevators, select their destination, enter and exit the elevators, and complete deliveries without any need for human intervention.

Relay has a 10 gallon capacity, multiple insert bins of various sizes and delivers lab specimens, medications, medical supplies and food throughout hospitals and room service items in hotels.

The robot bin temp stays 1 degree over/under ambient room temperature. For warm or cold items, the interior bin offers some insulation that can maintain temperature during item transportation to its destination.
